Ian McConnell
Seventeen
[Verse 1]
We were barely allowed to drive alone
Screwed if I didn’t have her home, by midnight
Macklemore on the radio
Didn’t know what we didn’t know, so wide-eyed

[Pre-Chorus]
Parked it dark end of a dirt lot
Back seat lip lock with our shirts off
So sure that we’d never get caught

[Chorus]
Invincible and fearless, beautiful and bold
Nervous and excited, never getting old
No one else existed, only hеr and me
Pretending wе were free
What a thrill to be seventeen

[Verse 2]
A bright light and a hard knock
On a window full of white fog
With 10:15 on the dash clock
Lucky we got a nice cop
Just told us kids to get lost
Tore out of there with our shirts on backwards
New delinquents that were
[Chorus]
Invincible and fearless, beautiful and bold
Nervous and excited, never getting old
No one else existed, only her and me
Pretending we were free
What a thrill to be seventeen

[Bridge]
She’s out somewhere on the West Coast
Working some job only God knows
But when she thinks of me I hope
She thinks about that bliss
How it felt to be

[Chorus]
Invincible and fearless, beautiful and bold
Nervous and excited, never getting old
No one else existed, only her and me
Pretending we were free
What a thrill to be seventeen

[Outro]
Seventeen

When no one else existed, only her and me
Pretending we were free
What a thrill to be seventeen
